Hot Shot

[JWhitcomb]

Last week on the central CA coast I talked to a Hot Shotter out of Utak (Jensen Hot Shots???). He said his truck was something like six or eight months old and around 70K. Damm, that is a lot of time behind the wheel without a sleeper.

Kind of gives a new meaning to the term extended warranty. Was it a cummins?

Okie, yup a CTD, 3500.

There ain't no coffee-shop lallygagging allowed when you've got that Commercial Insurance bill to pay off!



That's when drivin' your CTD becomes a JOB.

 

[JWhitcomb]

Just how much is that insurance bill?

$$$$$

JWhit---A couple of years ago when I bought my 99' I checked on commercial insurance to haul cattle with a buddy of mine. For 2 trucks and 32' cattle trailers with $1,000,000 liability was going to be around ten grand a year. It wasn't going to be worth it since I would only be hauling on the weekends. My buddy ended up buying my trailer and hauling with just regular truck insurance, luckily he never needed it.
